Goodies in the box
One recent and amazing development in the world of miniatures is 3D printing. Shapeways held a contest featuring miniatures, and I made a mini crafting scene to enter.
I started with a miniature reproduction of the Shapeways shipping box. I split apart a real one then reproduced the wording and logos through scanning, manual type-setting and clip-art alteration. I even made a tiny USPS label.
Open the box to find Shapeways 3D printed items wrapped in thin foam. Maybe one of these days I'll figure out how to make bubble wrap in 1:12 scale. I did at least include tiny pieces of masking tape to hold the foam secure.
Inside were a 3D printed swimming pool in N scale from TheDallesHostler and a 3D printed N scale bridge from railNscale, bought just in case of disaster with the pool. I will likely use the bridge for the tiny Hampton House.
